I figure once one of the elements is ahistorical, the discussion is. If I consider 15th Century pikes vs 15th Century knights, I can form an opinion based on information. For SF, fantasy and pulp, I have, at best "period feel." For something like this, the answer is whatever the rulesmith wants it to be. On what basis could you frame an argument?

I always laugh at the "experts" who intone "Medieval Knights never had to face Samurai!" That's their way of saying that the Samurai would certainly win. But they have no counter to my "Samurai never had yo face Medieval Knights either!"

Silly matchups are never answerable, except if you use WRG 5. Or if your rules ensure that X can never be beat. Then why play? Give the side guaranteed to win to a 5 year old. Any younger and they would eat the dice.

Isn't this another version of the critics of wargamers assertion that our beautiful war game Napoleonic armies "could be wiped out with a guy with a single machine gun?" Don't you remember all the scoffing and insulting we took from theses guys. Now we do it to ourselves.

The answer of course is simple. "OK, I'll produce a guy decked out as a medieval knight with his weapons. You produce a Jedi in his bathrobe."

Why would 60,000 medieval knights just stand in a big block and make NO attempt and encircling the jedi? They just stay in a giant rectangle shape and wait for the jedi to mow through them and wait their turn to be killed?

It's just silly. They would encircle the jedi and the jedi would be overwhelmed. Jedi are master swordsmen but they are not immortal and they cannot survive endless sword stabs and slashes.

The jedi might kill the first few thousand knights, but by then they would all be badly injured and losing blood and not be able to continue fighting at that level of ferocity.

"Why would 60,000 medieval knights just stand in a big block and make NO attempt and encircling the jedi? They just stay in a giant rectangle shape and wait for the jedi to mow through them and wait their turn to be killed?"

No, if they have the Jedi positioned stupidly in front of them, the Meds simply have to stampede over the Jedi and trample them to death, (though they still might lose a thousand or so…) You could still use your stabby things, but hardly needed (concert/stadium trampling events are more modern examples.) For cattle/herd stampedes, victims are usually reduced to flattened paste… :-o

Use handcannons, even the stone/lead ball from a handcannon goes 20 times faster than a blaster bolt.Wouldn't be able to counter those with a lightsaber. Make battalions out of the knight, and fire of volley of 100-200 shots at a time. With in a few seconds, all Jedi will be dead.

hmmmm hate to rain on your parade, but the poor old longbowmen are constrained by reality and history…the Jedi (last time I checked) are fictional, so suffer no such restraints. You can just make up some more super powers or gizmos to ensure their victory.
